Don’t you love the sight of wonderful vegetables growing in a garden?
I do!!!
And the best way to organically do that, is to create a compost pile. All ya gotta do is get a wooden crate (or another something as long as it’s biodegradable) and put stuff in it! WOO HOO!!!
Okay. Not true.
Well, the part about the crate is true, at least.
But it’s not all pies and cakes when it comes to compost piles.
- You CANNOT put ANY metal or plastic in the compost piles
- You CANNOT put cooked fruits or veggies in them
- You MUST stir the compost every once in awhile or it will stink (because you must remember that it is made up of rotting food)
- ONLY put fruits, vegetables, or peelings in the compost piles
- DON’T be afraid if there are little worms in the compost, they help turn it into soil
All of this pays off, because the rotting food turns into some of the most wonderfully rich soil. Perfect for gardens and lawns!
